March Book Update: 9/50
Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris
5/5
Loved it. It is exactly what its title suggests, in as simple, black-and-white terms as possible. Harris points out the flaws of Christian "logic" in such a way that it seems completely common sense.
White Oleander by Janet Fitch
5/5
In case I haven't raved enough, I fucking LOVE this book
Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis
5/5
This book is extremely descriptive, and usually I HATE that. But the fact that it's describing another planet full of creatures and scenery and concepts almost beyond human understanding makes it awesome. It's pretty trippy, especially if you read it high. :) And it really points out the flaws with humankind and our "morals" as a race. I really loved it, though I'm not sure if I'd want to read the other two in C.S. Lewis's Space trilogy. Has anyone else read it? Opinion?
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
5/5
I can't believe I've never read the book considering I've seen the movie so many times. The book is SO MUCH BETTER! I haven't finished it yet, but I'm sure I'll finish it tonight so I'm counting it as a March book. Fucking love love LOVE it. Although I'd probably love it more if I didn't already know that Tyler is the narrator and vice versa. I've noticed the points where I'd start to slowly realize what was happening if I didn't already know the ending, and the way Palahniuk slowly and subtly lets on that they're the same person. It's great. I also bought Choke, so that's up soon on the list methinks. I'm pretty positive that one will be 100 times better than the movie.
I'll do a movie update later, for now its time to leave work :D
